So basically, when the Modi Government is reducing Rs. 2 from the Excise duty collected and calling it a people friendly move, what it means is that they are going take ONLY Rs. 19.48 per ltr duty on Petrol (which was Rs. 9.48 in 2014) and ONLY Rs. 15.33 per ltr on Diesel (which was Rs. 3.56 in 2014).

Looking at the way this is being touted by the Government and the Media as a “People Friendly Move”, I shudder to think what would have happened if the Government was not ….errrr….. people friendly.

This is like getting mugged in a dark alley by a vicious thug who takes your watch, your wallet, your chain, then your shirt, your pant, your vest and your underpants and then taking pity on you, he gives you back your underpants so you have atleast something left on your body.

Now, you all can definitely go ahead and call that Thug a humanitarian who had sympathetic feelings towards you, but as far as I can see, you were just mugged by a thug in a dark alley 😛
